What We Think

What can I say about the Edwina. I really like this mic. It has a softer top, clear detailed upper mids, full mids/low mids, and a present but natural bottom end. It sounded very solid on my voice (male baritone). There was a slight presence in the upper mids that made the voice sound “more alive”, that was surprising. On acoustic guitar (my Taylor 114ce), I placed the mic about six inches from the guitar around the 11th/12th fret, and pointed it at the heal of the neck. This is were I fell in love with this mic. The finger noise and pick noise was there, but rounded - it was pleasant to listen to. I like those noises, to me the make an acoustic sound real. Overall there was plenty of cut and detail to make the guitar clear. The mid range was big and smooth, allowing the resonance and body of the guitar to come out, without being boxy or having mud. The lows reached well and were natural. The Edwina is well suited for stringed acoustic instruments, and is a great pairing for Mandolin, Fiddle, and the like.
